FAQs

  • All meals, guided hikes, group experiences, campfire gatherings, and your campsite for the weekend. You’ll also receive a packing list and pre-trip info. You can add camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad) if you don’t have it, we will include it in your package as an add on.

  • All levels are welcome and no prior camping experience is necessary. We will guide you through everything. That said, one of the hikes will be more physically challenging: around 6.5 miles (10km), with moderate/hard elevation gain. It’s not technical, but it will get your heart pumping. We will pace it together, take breaks and make it worth it with incredible views and a cold plunge along the way.
